Culinary & Hospitality Marketing

SPECIALIZING IN FOOD, FARMS, LODGING & TOURISM

Pam Knights began promoting the local food movement back in the early 1990s, long before it became fashionable. Her experience within culinary, hospitality and agricultural circles combined with more than 25 years of marketing experience, uniquely qualifies her to promote farms, restaurants, and lodging properties. As former director of public relations and special events for New England Culinary Institute, Pam worked to co-found the Vermont Fresh Network, with the goal of fostering communication between chefs and farmers. While managing communications for the Vermont Land Trust she was involved in conserving farm and forestland throughout the state. It was a logical next step to follow her passion and establish her own communications business (in 2000) with a focus on food, farms, lodging, and tourism.

AGRITOURISM MARKETING

Pam has extensive experience in creating and promoting special events such as culinary weekend programs, symposiums, harvest festivals, and cooking and craft classes. As a board member for the Vermont Farms Association, she understands Best Management Practices, and the growing importance of agritourism in farm diversification and its role in engaging locals and tourists with farms and local food.

Pam Knights is a pioneer in connecting tourism and farming! She is a strong advocate for farmers engaged in agritourism and has worked creatively for years with the tourism industry to help integrate agriculture, food, and marketing into the hospitality industry. Her genuine enthusiasm and sincere passion shine through all that she does. It is a pleasure to work with her!”
